Take a look over at GTVHacker.com for their root on the fire tv stick maximus64 even has a nice video:
http://www.gtvhacker.com/index.php/Amazon_Fire_TV_Stick
Hopefully this will lead to a software root, but if you're handy with a soldering iron, time to have some fun!
Thanks but I don't see many people doing this. Hope that means amazon won't patch it..... Could they?
I mean there's always a possibility, but you're basically (in a sense) removing the chip, reading it, modifying it, and putting it back...so I don't think there's really a way for them of doing that.
They could create a firmware update that contains a script that looks for and removes the files on each and every boot.
If its been done with the fire tv stick.. Surprised its not been done with the fire tv.

I just ordered the eMMS interface he used in the video. Figure since I've got 4 of them that I'd like to root, figured it's a small investment. If it works and others are interested I may be interested in rooting some units for a few bucks.

Very interesting,
As it supports low-voltage, it should also work for the FireTV?

I haven't looked in a while, but gtvhacker made the same claim for FireTV and nobody could reproduce the results.

On the GTV wiki page for the FireTV, it looks more like a theory, not confirmed that it has been done?
Anyway, I sent an email to Maximus, asking if he could ship this board to Germany
There is another thread here were people have tried and failed and contacted them and they could not help to reproduce..
I've got everything to do this now but the points are so tiny and my soldering tip is too large. Unfortunately my iron (Hakko Presto 980) doesn't have much tip selection, and the fine pointed tip is hard to find and expensive... I've got another iron somewhere, possibly at my mom's in Dallas, but doesn't help me here in Austin.
I'm rooted!

Edit: and now, using the KindleFree app I have the Play Store fully functioning, and using Market Helper it thinks I'm on a Nexus 7 so I can install any app. Excellent.

Congrats! So did you use your normal soldering iron or get a better tip? That's my dilemma at this point, a little unnervingly small especially for the tip I have.

I spent $4 on a cheap iron at Harbor Freight that had a sharper tip. The only way I could get a sharper tip for my Hakko was to get a $16 tip shipped from Japan, way too expensive for me.

Just got my Dork Gizmo kit with a Hard Shell Case for travelling and an HDMI cable,USB cable and a key hook? Weird. (Suppose to say from 'Amazon' dunno why the hell it didnt appears as i typed it.)
Here's the link if anybody is curious.
http://www.amazon.com/Gizmo-Dorks-S...142S/ref=sr_1_6?ie=UTF8&qid=1307720366&sr=8-6
Im very happy because its a very good price!
I got everything now except the Skinomi which I intend to buy.
Even got 32GB Kinsgston.
If anyone has a question please shoot.
Cheers!
I got the same hardshell so far I love it! Keep us posted on the 32gig card I'm still saving pennies for that one lol.
Well I use my 32GB card today and its real nice to have aloooot of space.
And it works fine! Speedy, Kingston class 4.
I love the hardshell too, its a liiiittle bit hard to close the hard shell with the protective casing on but still it works! And that makes it awesome for travel.
Next thing is Skinomi screen protector and im done!
Loving my Acer more and more everyday!
Just wish they would make a keyboard dockstation so one can have the option of using it as a notebook and of course double the battery time or more since the dock would have batteries too.
The one they released not is a f-ing joke...
I bought this package from the suggestions here. I love the hdmi and the usb cables. I had thought that the case would be a tight fit, but loving the price and package.

I have the standard Acer gel case. Do you think there is enough room for the tablet to fit in the hard case with the gel case on it? It isn't thick. I really like that hard case.
I would think that you can fit the gel case in the hard case. Its pretty roomy, and I think its a little TOO roomy for my taste

I use it with the official Acer case INSIDE the other Hard Case(the one that look identical to Ipads) and I have no problem with too much room, in fact its borderline to tight but it feels sturdy and safe.
Give me another 10 hours. I am not near a computer
opps. Just figured out I can upload it from my phone. Hope that helps.

Yes I believe they do, you can just proceed to checkout when you are in Amazon after adding it to your basket and then you can confirm if you can receive it in your country.
But I believe it should be able to be delivered worldwide yes.

A Nuukey bluetooth keyboard for the iPhone; I had seen one of these before online and thought if it could be some way retrofitted onto another phone. It was a
pretty lucky find in that I was able to inspect it hands on. I thought since I had blown all my money anyways, so why not try it. Here is what I have so far:

It's the one thing that I'm missing from my old HTC 8125 and 8525.
Ugh playing roms on those things was infinitely more fun when I had buttons to press.
Edit: Also, if anyone stumbles upon a keyboard that connects via usb rather than over Bluetooth, please share.
this is fantastic. now what you should do is pick up an extra battery cover and outfit the sliding joint to it. i wonder how hard that would be. i have been trying to figure out this exact mod for months

Youtube vid shows it on, slight modification necessary however. Definitely think I might do this once I have some money.
I think a USB keyboard in this form factor would be fantastic, less battery consumer, and it shouldn't be so hard with the USB-host support, I'm right?
Why we don't suggest it to Nuu?

I kind of like this idea, plus then you could use it in places where bluetooth might be prohibited. Also makes your phone less open having bluetooth off.

Well it's been two days and there is some bad news after sliding it back and forth the springs gave out and there is too much pressure being put on the slide plate causing it to bend. I'm going to have to modify how its mounted before releasing instructions; I dont want anyone wasting their time or money.

I got a new toy yesterday, so I felt compelled to get it working with my old toy. Here are a couple of pictures of the rev. B Raspberry Pi running Raspbian configured for adb/fastboot use with the Kindle Fire. It's nothing earth-shattering. It just works like you'd expect any other linux box to function. I'm not sure if anybody would actually buy one for this express purpose, but it's nice to know that it does work.

Very cool kinfauns! Also I'm glad your desktop doesn't look much different than mine with the wires going everywhere . My wife asks how I can get anything accomplished I just say "what I know where everything is".
Pretty cool that you can actually order Pi's now. They were backordered for the longest...
What would be cool is if you get the android and the pi talking so you can use the pi to operate the gpio pins and fire some relays or take sensor data. What are your plans for the pi...?

I had no specific plans for it when I ordered it. Coupling it to an android device wasn't really anything I had in mind. Now that I have it in hand, I plan to see if it's viable to use it as a backup server and a personal mail/imap server. If that doesn't work out, I want to hook it up to a high water sensor in my sump pump pit to send out a set of email/SMS warnings to notify me of trouble. I'll probably just play around with it some, learn some new things and see if any good ideas pop up.

It's a very capable little device for the money. Not fast, but I don't think anybody would buy it looking for speed.
I sold my KFs when I got the N7, but I missed tinkering around with it and found myself looking around on Craigslist for one soon thereafter. A guy in the town over was selling one that was barely touched for $80. I drove over and made the deal.
He threw in a case that I've never used and probably never will use. Maybe I'll start a new thread offering it for free to a random person who posts a response.

Yeah, it's a 12^3. I wanted to size up to a 16^3 with it being a power of 2 and all. Then I realized how many buckyballs that would actually take to make and I had to hold myself back before it got too crazy. :silly:
I know most of you wouldnt be interested in one since it is a tablet but I'm jealous of the asus transformer infinity owners who have a nice keyboard/dock etc, theirs even has a trackpad to make it essentially a low powered laptop. I've seen various 3rd party bluetooth keyboards on ebay but none that look too impressive.
I'd definitely be interested in one. That was one of my cons when purchasing this tablet. Something integrated would be sweet!

Its not always the best- after owning it 6 months, it HAS saved my tablet from 3 drops (outlined in my Amazon review), but the loop that holds the closing strap is a tad loose and I'm worried it might tear. Otherwise I love it. Best of all, the keyboard's detachable without clips/knobs/anything that might snap.

I have this case as well, however I have it for only two days LOL, and it is already amazing to use, the keyboard is really nice and the best part of it being in a case is that you can take off the keyboard and use only the tablet . Also it has a really stylish finish, and it's comfortable to carry . Using this thing with a mouse and Complete Linux Installer gave me a very powerful Netbook hahaha
I didn't realize you could take the keyboard off, nice! yeah I'm excited; it's ordered. Hmmmmm linux on nexus 10......... interesting.

It Arrived yesterday. You guys were right this thing is money. The keyboard is a bit small for long typing session, but perfect for general everyday stuff!

There are all brands of these key USB drives. You won't have problems finding them on Amazon. And the prices are everywhere. It's crazy that the same 32Gb capacity from China is $12, and from LaCie is $75. I have several LaCie 32 giggers but I don't remember paying that much for them. They're extremely reliable durable (but slow to write to) -- I've had them in the washing machine a few times.
Here's a better idea. Instead of getting a drive like this, then having to carry around the Pixel dongle, I'm going to get a USB C flash drive instead. It's cheaper. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01MQGP3LX/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

Yea I was actually planning on getting the SanDisk dual USB-C flash drive. I liked the idea of having something really durably on my keychain though. This looks to be the best for usbC flash drive.

I just wouldn't wanna keep it on my keychain and your key one looked more durable... But then again the key snapped ones I saw had the circuit stuff exposed completely so maybe this would be better since it's the normal USB rectangle plus it slides in

This Pixel's dual slot is something else. As often as I flash ROMs, kernels, and different modules, I keep everything on the thumb drive for quick access -- Don't have time to transfer those big zip files from the laptop to the phone every time I have to wipe the darn thing.
Is that so wrong to be a "Pixel nerd"?

Does Magisk work with one of the newly released roms? (I see it there on your drive...)

It did not for me. It's not the ROMs though, it's the Google Q update that messed me up. Doesn't work any more.
